Daily News | Temple signs 25 players in first-ever Owls recruiting class for head coach Stan Drayton
Temple head coach Stan Drayton determined his roster was absent of certain player traits that fit the system he’s trying to run.
It’s largely due to since joining the Owls as head coach in the offseason, Drayton was unable to experience a full-recruiting cycle. Temple added only 15 recruits to its 2022 class. Wednesday proved a different story as the Owls added 24 players comprised of 19 high school players and five college transfers during the NCAA’s early national signing period.
“As a staff, we knew we had to get longer,” Drayton said about his recruiting aspirations. “We had to get bigger in some spots. We had to add depth at some spots. We had to get faster. After our first year, we felt that we were deficient in length and speed. I am really pumped up about the guys that have signed with us today that are going to help bring those physical traits to our football team.”
Temple added two international recruits in tight end Peter Clarke and punter Dante Atton. Close to home, Northeast High School outside linebacker Tyrese Whitaker and Roman Catholic defensive end Jordan Montgomery signed to the 2023 class. Additionally, Temple signed nine players from the state of Florida.Temple’s highest-touted recruit on the defensive line, Auguste is a 6-5, 280-pound defensive tackle from West Orange High School.
